EARWAX REMOVAL

WHAT IS EARWAX?

Earwax (also called cerumen) is a waxy oil that is produced inside your ear canal to gather and remove dirt, dust and dead skin cells. Earwax slowly makes its way out of the ear on its own. However, there are some cases where the body produces too much earwax and it cannot come out on its own. Pushing swabs into the ear can push the earwax toward the back of the ear canal creating a blockage and preventing sound from getting through.

SYMPTOMS OF IMPACTED EARWAX

Here are a few signs that you may have impacted earwax:  

• Muted hearing
• Plugged-up sensation in the ear
• Ringing, buzzing or hissing
